Hero Worship

In the early 2010s, Avatar Press published this six-issue miniseries, a taut superhero thriller from writers Scott Murphy and Zak Penn, with art by Michael DiPascale. It explores a world where a corporate-sponsored superhero is the only one left, and the dark secrets behind his carefully managed public image. The series offers a pointed, grounded take on celebrity, media manipulation, and the cost of heroism in a commercialized age.
